This paper evaluates methods of hierarchical skill analysis developed in aerospace to the problem of surgical skill assessment and modeling. The analysis employs tool motion data of Fundamental of Laparoscopic Skills (FLS) tasks collected from clinicians of various skill levels at three different clinical teaching hospitals in the United States. Outcomes are evaluated based on their ability to ...

The development of narrative skill has been investigated extensively in a wide range of languages, cross-linguistically and in multilingual settings (Berman and Slobin, 1994b; Severing and Verhoeven, 2001; Hickmann, 2004; Strömqvist and Verhoeven, 2004). The present study investigates the development of reference realization in narrative among Indigenous children in a remote urban township in C...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the effect of community-based counselling on feeding patterns during the first 12 weeks after birth, and to study whether the effect differs by maternal HIV status, educational level or household wealth. DESIGN Cluster-randomized trial with fifteen clusters in each arm to evaluate an integrated package providing two pregnancy and five postnatal home visits delivered by co...

Nous appliquons les résultats de deux articles précédents, en particulier uné equation cinétique généralisant l'´ equation de Boltzmann, ` a l'´ etude des gaz dilués quantiques hors d'´ equilibre. Par une simple extension de la méthode de Chapman Enskog appliquéè a cetté equation cinétique, nous calculons les propriétés hydrodynamiques du gaz. A l'ordre le plus bas (hydrodynamique d'Euler), nou...

Three covalent attachments anchor heterotrimeric G proteins to cellular membranes: the a subunits are myristoylated and/or palmitoylated, whereas the g chain is prenylated. Despite the essential role of these modifications in membrane attachment, it is not clear how they cooperate to specify G protein localization at the plasma membrane, where the G protein relays signals from cell surface rece...
